The importance of sanitation

With the Coronavirus pandemic, has come a ‘new normal’ which is expected to stick around for a long time to come. These include correct sanitation measures in all workplaces, so how can you ensure a clean and secure working environment? Take a look below:

Sanitising stations: Have a hand wash and sanitiser station at the entry to the workplace and in various areas around. This can be an easy way for staff to quickly and easily use hand sanitiser as they go about their daily business. 

Sanitiser on desks – Provide hand sanitiser for all team members to keep on them in person and on their desk, also a great way to encourage regular hand washing.

Take time out to clean – Regularly cleaning areas which are touched throughout the day, these include:

  • Door handles
  • Kitchen spaces
  • Computer keyboards
  • Computer mouses
  • Machinery
  • Window blinds
  • Touch screens

Implement a rota where these are cleaned at the beginning and end of each working day and at intervals throughout. 

Air it out – Keeping windows open if possible and allowing ventilated air to circulate. Avoid using air conditioning units as this circulates unventilated air which could increase the spread of germs. 

Disinfect full rooms – Take a look at our Space Guard room disinfectant; a single use, total release aerosol disinfectant, designed to disinfect rooms quickly and easily. Once the aerosol is activated, it will completely empty in around 2 minutes, filling the room with a pleasant smell and powerful disinfectant. The product is also perfect for disinfecting cars, vans and offices.

Communication and education – Carry out full cleaning induction procedures and regularly speak to all team members about the best way to maintain a safe environment, these measures will ensure it is fully adhered to by all. Be sure to check in to see if everyone is happy with the processes. 

Put a plan in place – What happens if someone in the workplace becomes ill? Having a step by step plan as to how you will carry out a quick and effective sanitation procedure will save time and stress later down the line. Also make sure that this is communicated to all team members in case anyone is not present on the day it occurs.
